Artist Bio

I am a Visual Artists and like to work with various mediums - Watercolor for its fluidity, Acrylic for its vibrancy, texture, and versatility, Oil paints for their earthiness and timeless look, and Textile and Wearable arts for their color and decorative qualities. I love to experiment with my paintings and styles. Art and creativity have always been a part of me, even as a child. To enhance my inner artist, I studied Arts and Design at Sir JJ School of Arts in Mumbai, and Fashion Styling at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. My paintings & textile arts are inspired by my multicultural background and my experiences with nature and various cultures with their diversity throughout my life and travels. Being of Indian origin, I often paint subjects inspired by India, highlighting the people, beauty, and culture I grew up around. I am very thankful for this lovely gift, and I nourish it with self-development and educating others in the arts. I hope you will enjoy these works as much as I enjoyed creating them.

10:30 am LTCL Sound Bath Meditation

LTCL Sound Bath Meditation

May 23 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

Join us for a relaxing Sound Bath meditative experience in which musical instruments like singing bowls are used to relax, realign and re-energize the body and mind. Participants gather around these musical instruments while the instructor guides her students into a deep, calming state. The term “bath” is used because participants are bathing in the sound as well as the vibrations the sound waves put off. These vibrations are incredibly calming as well, with the goal being to help stimulate your body into restoration as well as clearing out any negative emotions or energies that serve you no purpose. Please bring a mat and any other items you might need to feel comfortable such as a pillow, blanket, or eye mask.
